TheSpectra SP200是一种有趣且雄心勃勃的新礁石水族馆，它是由完全不同类型的欲望和需求建造的。从许多不同模型的环保灯具和Acanlighting固定装置中，光滑的积极冷却的固定装置具有与我们相同的基本结构设计，但是多年的调整和精炼已融合为完全独特的光明，可以从各个不同的深度中生长出珊瑚。
With eight channels of color control, users of the EcoLamps Spectra SP-200 can fine tune the spectrum from the deepest blues to the bright and warm sunlight of the shallows. Since EcoLamps is targeting a very niche ‘research’ market with the newest Spectra light, this light is really optimized for recreating an准确的color spectrum representative of the attenuation of sunlight as it becomes filtered and dispersed by tropical sunlight.
即使有八个颜色控制渠道，我们也不知道preciselyhow to recreate the spectrum found at a given depth, but this is where the Spectra app does something we haven’t seen in any other light. With the simple adjustment of a slider, you can fine tune the lighting color spectrum to simulate the lighting found at the surface down to 30 meters, or just about 100 feet down.
The app makes it super easy to create an automatic schedule to simulate dawn and dusk, while the manual mode gives a live preview of any depth you select. A few other useful tools in the options gives users the option to turn off the DeepRed and UV channels – so as to not get yourself into trouble or shock corals who may be sensitive to those wavelengths of light.
Another option allows users to set the ceiling for the maximum output of the light based on the drive current of the LEDs themselves with a slider for 1 watt, 2 watts and 3 watts per LED, perhaps to create a kind of acclimation mode to this powerful, 200 watt light. We’ve been using the Spectra SP200 on a 40 gallon cube tank filled with LPS corals which all display and fluoresce as much as you would expect with so many LED colors.
该坦克上的先前灯光是Kessil A360X，我们必须评论只有90瓦的光线，所有的LED颜色都融入了单个多芯片，这是多么令人印象深刻的。当然，Spectra SP200的数量和离散的LED越来越多，具有更高的覆盖范围和强度，而PAR值很容易爬到水下12英寸的1000umols，足以燃烧除最爱的石质珊瑚以外的所有东西。
我们爱的独特approach of the EcoLamps Spectra SP200 but two things about this light have some room for improvement. First of all, and really the only thing holding back this light from being a mass-market hit with the reefers is that Cyan spectrum. The Cyan LED issupposed要成为蓝色的阴影，并带有淡淡的绿色淡淡的淡淡，但在所有珊瑚上，青色频道在所有珊瑚上都呈现出淡绿色的色调。即使在30米的“最深”频谱环境中，浅色总体上也是绿色的，没有什么比我们亲自遇到的蓝宝石蓝色在深入的热带珊瑚礁深入研究时遇到的。
Secondly and more forgivable is the noise of the fans; to keep the fixture cool while packing up to 200 watts of heat/power in the slim fixture the Spectra uses very low profile 10mm thick fans. These anorexic air movers can only move so much air with each rotation so they need to spin so much faster to adequately cool the fixture, leading to a pronounced whine even under medium loads.
尽管有这两个缺点，即压倒性的青色频谱和大声的粉丝，如果这些是我们能对此灯光提出的唯一批评，那实际上是赢家。我们希望创造性的控制选择和忠实地复制深度依赖性频谱将对珊瑚研究人员进行极大的利用，因为它已经为珊瑚礁爱好者提供了鲜明的水族馆。
